It was a great comeback by Australian team in the 4th One day international cricket match against India after losing 2 matches in a row. The match was important for both the teams as a win would have secured top spot for India and would almost secure the series for India. But in the end it was Australia, which won the vital moments during the chase to level the series in Mohali. It was a roller-coaster type of match and whenever India appeared to be getting a hold on match, Australia fought back with a vengeance. It wasn’t the great bowling performance that did the trick, but it was disciplined enough to force mistakes under-pressure. Now as the 7 match ODI series is leveled at 2-2, there will a lot of excitement towards the end of the series. And it will also be a clash for gaining the top spot in ICC ODI Rankings as the winner of the series will be the number one team.

Earlier in the series, we have seen some good cricketing performance from both the sides. In the 1st ODI at Varodara, Ponting and Hussey came with good knocks and put a winning total on board. But Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar threatened to pull off a heist towards the end of the match and fell 4 runs short. The 2nd ODI was flawless victory for India, as Mahendra Singh Dhoni showed why he is the number one batsman in the world. His knock was superb and full of aggression towards the end. And the total of 354 proved too far from the Australian reach in front of good bowling performance by Indians. 3rd ODI at Delhi again proved to be great for India as they restricted Australia to a mere 229 on a slow pitch. Australia had their chances in the match when India was 3 down for 52, but the partnership between the Yuvraj and Dhoni stole the match for India. Now we have 3 matches on 5th, 8th and 11th of November and fight will be worth watching.
